ABSTRACT
Urogenital atrophy is characterized by dryness, inflammation, and thinning of the epithelial lining of the vagina and lower urinary tract due to estrogen decline. Local estrogen therapy if effective to relieve signs and symptoms of vaginal atrophy without causing an elevation of serum estrogen levels. Although there are no big studies addressing the safety of this type of treatment, it can be maintained over long periods to avoid annoying symptoms. Special care must be taken with women with breast cancer in whom the effective dose must be titrated to avoid an increase in serum estrogens over the levels usually observed in postmenopausal women.
